Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Welcome back!I love oatmeal. I love chocolate. I love cookies.
Last night I was a little stressed, and decided to do a little stress baking.  I found this recipe on the back of the flour bag.  I adapted it a bit, and offer it here for you to enjoy.

Bread From the Oven – Sweet Success!

I always wanted to make fresh bread.  The problem is, I was the world’s worst baker.  I tried making bread.  It turned out dry and ordinary.  So, I quit doing it.  Then, I started seeing some friends on Facebook turning out these gorgeous loaves of bread that I was paying $5 or so per loaf. [...]

Pumpkin Pie, Size Small

Have I ever mentioned that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday?  What’s not to love about a holiday spent with family, making delicious food that brings back memories?
I keep it traditional, but play with it just a bit.
Because I love this holiday menu so much, I rarely stray from it.  So, no southwest turkey, tofurkey [...]

Waffle + Cookie = Delish!

It was quite a sight…
Fall is in the air… and the lovely children of our neighborhood were out raking up the leaves.  I was also proud to learn that my little one was the instigator!  He was the “boss”, and was out directing his friends to work together and rake up all the leaves in [...]

Apple Pie: A Classic

I love baking.  I also love the classics.  I don’t think that food has to be complicated or extravagant to taste good.  I love to try out new recipes I find for the classics, like Apple Pie.
Here’s my mish-mashed personal recipe (it took about three or four recipes and a fair amount of experimenting).  Enjoy!

Holy Grail Chocolate Chip Cookies

I think I’ve found it – the holy grail of chocolate chip cookie recipes.  It’s soft, chewy and a little fluffy.  I started with the Sunset magazine recipe, and messed with it a little (because I just can’t leave well enough alone).  These are fab, easy and sooooo yummy.  I think it’s the absence of [...]

Lil Chocolate Cupcakes

How fun are these?  I used my chocolate cake recipe, and make these little mini-cupcakes for my hubby for Valentine’s Day.
Oh, what are those crumbs?  Well, most of the cupcakes disappeared overnight.

Peeling & Slicing Apples, The Easy Way

I love, love, love baking.  Have you noticed yet?    One thing I make pretty regularly is Apple Pie.  Not every week, mind you, but a few times during the year.  My husband loves it, and it rarely lasts 4 days.  Making apple pie isn’t as complicated at some people think.  And, I use [...]
